Not unless you configured the wireless adapter for "g" only.

Generally, no.
I think most public hotspots are "b" routers.

I did have a problem with a "b Turbo" card and a G router. I think the
problem was a pre-release spec of one vendor's "Turbo" colliding with the
PBCC code in a different vendor's newer "g" router.

I suppose that could happen in reverse, if you had an older "turbo" router.
